Food Industry and Retail Service Training Receives National Achievement Award

This training program designed to teach food industry workers about basic food sanitation and safety dates back to the 1970s. However, prior to 2006, only about a third of those the program was designed to serve were participating. Last year the Department of Public Health enhanced the program via video presentations and the Internet. The number of workers being trained increased 15 percent in the first six months with an additional 6 percent increase projected during the current fiscal year.
